We need a fully accessible campus:
Make every building accessible! Did you know that the admissions and awards building is not wheelchair accessible? And this is only one building out of a shamefully long list of 51. This is a symptom of the systemic barrier created both physically and attitudinally by the administration towards people who are challenged.

Student Housing:
Students do well academically in proper and affordable housing. I’d call for more student housing including families and individual part-time students.

Anti-corporate Campus:
Invest in the university community, not in big business! Put U of T’s Divestment Policy into practice!

Feed the Body to Feed the Mind:
Access healthy food for students. In order to study properly students need a proper meal, regardless of finances. * Community Kitchen * Organic Gardening * Greater access to U of T food bank.
